Great LASIK Surgeon

General Practitioners

Arthritis
Often times when a patient is diagnosed with systemic conditions such as Rheumatoid Arthritis, Sarcoidosis, Lupus, and other autoimmune disorders, a physician will prescribe Hydroxychloroquine, commonly known as Plaquenil. While it is beneficial in treating the listed ailments, itâ€™s important to know that there is a small chance it can cause damage to userâ€™s retina, a condition known as retinopathy.
Pediatric Care
Dr. K.C. McCandless, O.D. is a caring and patient-focused optometrist, whose work has included helping to examine and distribute more than 15,000 pair of glasses to those in need. Dr. Matthew Chiapa, O.D. Â has a special interest in the management of ocular disease. Dr. Jesus Martinez, O.D. is bilingual in English and Spanish, but his true love lies within the field of Optometry and patient care. Finally, Dr. Tiffany Nguyen, O.D., has clinical training in specialty contact lenses, keratoconus management, pediatrics, ocular diseases, cataract, and dry eye management. Each of our providers is dedicated to helping patients achieve their best vision possible.Â

Ophthalmologists

Glaucoma
If youâ€™ve been told by your doctor that you have glaucoma or high eye pressure, you may be able to participate in a clinical study of the Travoprost Intraocular Implant.
Ophthalmology
Dr. Wellish has served as a reviewer for the Journal of Refractive Surgery and is a clinical assistant professor of ophthalmology at the University of Nevada School of Medicine. Dr. Wellish is the first surgeon in Nevada to perform laser vision correction (July 1994), and has been honored twice by the Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce and has also been honored by several members of Congress for his work.
Laser Eye Surgery
Like any medical procedure, there are potential risks associated with LASIK Surgery. However, LASIK is one of the safest and most commonly performed elective procedures in the world. With the latest advances in technology, LASIK has become so precise and delivers such amazing results, that NASA has approved its use for their astronauts and the U.S. military for its pilots. Millions of people agree that the benefits of LASIK far outweigh the potential risks.
Cataracts
When undergoing cataract removal, our doctors remove the cataract and replace it with a standard IOL that is powered for your eyesâ€™ unique prescription. In many cases, patients donâ€™t have to wear distance glasses for driving or watching television.Â However, if a patient has corneal astigmatism, which is very common, the astigmatism must be addressed, or patients will still typically have to wear glasses for distance and near vision.Â For patients with mild astigmatism, our doctors will perform an LRI or Limbal Relaxing Incision. For patients that require stronger amounts of astigmatism correction, a Toric lens might be best for them. Your surgeon will discuss all your options during your cataract evaluation.
Cataract Surgery
Wellish Vision Institute in Las Vegas offers its patients the latest advancements in cataract surgery. Laser cataract surgery or laser assisted cataract surgery is the most modern approach to performing cataract removal. This breakthrough in technology can help make cataract surgery more precise, more predictable and better than ever before. During laser cataract surgery, the surgeons of the Wellish Vision Institute utilize this laser technology to perform many of the necessary steps with incredible precision and safety. While tradition cataract surgery using a manual blade is very safe, no human hand can match the precision of a laser. This is very important for patients seeking optimal visual results, especially with premium IOLs, which can help reduce or eliminate reading glasses or bifocals.
Eye Exam
The doctors at Wellish Vision Institute will see you for a comprehensive eye exam and then further deem if you are a good candidate for PROKERA. Las Vegas ophthalmologist Kent Wellish or any of our other highly skilled doctors will prescribe PROKERA when he sees that the patient has a damaged eye surface and needs help protecting, repairing, and promoting the healing of that surface area.

Endocrinologist

Diabetes Care
Diabetic Retinopathy

Ultrasound
At Wellish Vision Institute in Las Vegas, we perform cataract surgery using phacoemulsification. What this means is that we use high-energy ultrasound waves to break up the cataract, which we then gently remove and replace with a permanent, artificial lens. In most cases, eye drop anesthesia is all that is needed to stay comfortable during the process. Following surgery, many of our patients see dramatic improvement in their vision after only a few hours.

Dermatology
For the past few years, Kent L. Wellish, M.D. of Wellish Vision Institute have been refining a new approach to treating this problem, using intense pulsed light, or IPL, originally developed for use in dermatology.
